Albert Florence was strip-searched twice in
seven days in two New Jersey jails after he was arrested on a warrant
for a traffic fine he had already paid.

Florence
said he should never have been ordered to undress for the searches,
much less been arrested. He sued over his treatment, but a divided
panel of federal appeals court judges in Philadelphia said that it is
reasonable to search everyone being jailed, even without suspicion that
a person may be concealing a weapon or drugs.
